Five Guys actually got my order wrong! Surely, this has never happened to anyone else. I feel so... lonely.

No mustard or raw onions on my dog. Mustard’s on the bar but I had to ask for the onions in a separate container. At least they got it right on the receipt:

Seriously though: has Five Guys ever got your order wrong? I don’t go very often but over the years they have consistently impressed me with their accuracy. Have I just been lucky or are they pretty good about it for you too?

Actually, now that I think about it, nope! There is one a couple of blocks from my work and we've eaten there plenty of times. Can't remember them ever getting it wrong.

I don't get to go very often, ( the fuckers waited till I was moving to open a store where we were living...but IIRC, the only time they've gotten anything wrong was they forgot my grilled jalapenos one time.

Highly overpriced and overrated. That will be $13 for your cheeseburger meal that tastes worse than a $6 Bic Mac meal...

5 Guys are way better than a Big Mac meal. Can you get a better burger? Yes. But 5 Guys are a clear step up from the Micky D's and BK's in terms of quality.

People that go into a restaurant and order food the place doesn't specialize in will always be disappointed.

"Hi, welcome to Burger Hut! What can I get you?"
"Uhhh.....I'll have the spaghetti..."

*2 hours later on Yelp*

"BURGER HUT IS THE WORST PLACE EVER!"

You're talking to the idiot that says he has a roulette "system" that he can beat the house with. He's a few fries short of a happy meal.

Also, his taste in music is just as awful as his taste in food.

If by "better" in the sense that 5 Guys may have spent more to make that meal than McD's spends to make a Big Mac meal, that may be right. But if by "better" you mean tastes better, we are going to just have to agree to disagree. 5 Guys buger is the appitame of a "nothing special" burger that literally tastes like 99% of all other burgers out there...

I believe the word is “epitome.”

You just LOVE confirming and cementing our first impressions in a feeble attempt to deflect them.

That *IS* pretty funny.

You would’ve come out of this looking better if you never said anything in response to him at all.

...and the funny part is: You know that too.

Almost anythings better than mcdonands and burger king but five guys is nothing special, doesn't beat wendys. The one by my house that opened next to a wendys went out of business in less than 2 months. Never even got a chance to try it there, finally tried it and was like oh so this is why that one went of business.

I have had multiple 5 Guys from the northeast USA to Las Vegas. Every one has been better than McDonald's or Burger King. If you can't tell the difference between a 5 Guys burger and McDonald's or Burger King, then something is wrong with your tastebuds or you live near the crappiest 5 Guys on the planet.

Not saying 5 Guys is the best burger I've already had, but I find it about equal to an In-N-Out. Different, but about equal in terms of quality. I've never had a Wendy's beat out a 5 Guys (northeast USA). Bonus: A lot of 5 Guys has free peanuts.

Wendy's at its best is very close to 5 Guys for the burgers but IMO 5 Guys french fries are far better. We have a chain around here in CT called Mooyah-Burger which is my current go-to for "notch up from Fast-food" burgers ... I prefer Wayback over 5 Guys as well.

McDog's on the other hand I don't think is nearly as good even if you compare the "fresh-patty" burgers. (still has that McTaste lol)



but I find it about equal to an In-N-Out


If accurate this makes me feel better about living on the East Coast!

*(No In-N-Out here)
